About Dezzy

Dezzy is a playful 1.5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua mix. This small dog brings big energy, affection, and a touch of independence to the table. She thrives on attention and loves to snuggle, while also enjoying adventures. Previously living with young children—ages 3 and 8—Dezzy did well and showed her friendly side, although she may need time to warm up to strangers. She prefers a home without cats. Dezzy has spent time with her sister, June, but they can be adopted separately. Being a talented escape artist, she needs a secure environment and careful supervision. House-trained, she keeps her kennel clean, but she requires someone committed to keeping her active and engaged. Dezzy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Through October 17, 2026, her adoption fee is waived, making it a perfect time to bring home a delightful friend. If you think you can be her person, don’t hesitate. Let’s make it official; apply to adopt!
